Summary:
"What would happen to our culture if men ceased to exist? Mary E.
Bradley Lane explores this question in Mizora, the first known
feminist utopian novel written by a woman." "Vera Zarovitch is a
Russian noblewoman - heroic, outspoken, and determined. A political
exile in Siberia, she escapes and flees north, eventually finding
herself, adrift and exhausted, on a strange sea at the North Pole.
Crossing a barrier of mist and brilliant light, Zarovitch is swept
into the enchanted, inner world of Mizora. A haven of music, peace,
universal education, and beneficial, advanced technology, Mizora is a
world of women." "Mizora appeared anonymously in the Cincinnati
Commercial in 1880 and 1881. Mary E. Bradley Lane concealed from her
husband her role in writing the controversial story."--BOOK JACKET.
